Arctic Safari - Manitoba

The wildlife adventure vacation of a lifetime.

Your Arctic Safari takes place in Canada’s last remaining wilderness — from the great tundra plains known as The Barren Lands, through “The Land of Little Sticks” and finally down to the rugged Hudson Bay coastline, home of the mighty polar bears.

Our most ambitious adventure to date, the Arctic Safari is a wildlife encounter second to none, with endless photo opportunities and experiences. You’ll cover up to 20,000 square km of the wildest regions in the Arctic, home to wolves, caribou, moose, three species of bears (polar, black and grizzly), Arctic and coloured fox, wolverine, beaver, pine marten and a myriad of bird life.

The Arctic Safari includes a fly-out trip to experience the largest caribou migration in North America, hiking among the polar bears, opportunities for northern lights viewing and chances to see polar bears, black bears, grizzly bears, wolves and other Arctic wildlife. All set on a kaleidoscopic background of spectacular fall colours!

If that’s not enough try finding some energy to stay up for the finest light show on earth. We live in the best Aurora Borealis viewing zone in the Arctic! Listening to the spine tingling howls of a hungry wolf pack while being mesmerized by the dancing Aurora Borealis can be a life-changing experience.

Of course it can’t hurt that you have just finished a delicious meal at our luxury Seal River Lodge and you’re lounging outside by a camp fire sipping a glass of wine and watching the Northern Lights! This uniquely Canadian adventure will touch you like no other wildlife safari can.

From our rugged, cozy caribou camp on Schmok Lake to the Arctic luxury of Seal River Lodge, we will pamper you with the finest service, guides, accommodations, and cuisine found north of the Canadian tree line.
